October has come and gone. We have smashed our jack-o-lanterns and scrapped our last minute DIY costumes. And now, BAM! – the holidays are upon us in full swing. But wait a minute! It’s November. That’s still fall, guys!!! And why would we want to jump the gun and forego all of the best things autumn has to offer – namely, the food.

And yes, yes, I know. Everyone is all about that pumpkin spice. (PSL anyone?) But my personal favorite flavor of autumn is . . . . . . . CARAMEL APPLE! ? And honestly, apple flavor goes all the way into winter.

With the fall season is underway, many of us may have noticed the popular colors that are trending in the fashion industry. PANTONE, the most well-known fashion color reporter, has an interesting color palette for Fall 2016. Many of these colors have already hit the floors at numerous retailers.

The idea for fall 2016 colors were to represent the unity of strength, confidence and optimism – which is led by the blue family. The colors consist of Riverside, Airy Blue, Sharkskin, Aurora Red, Warm Taupe, Dusty Cedar, Lush Meadow, Spicy Mustard, Potter’s Clay, and Bodacious.

PANTONE Riverside

Riverside is a new blue shade that displays a subtle vibrancy and sophistication. This color is cool and calming, as well as strong and stable. Riverside borders on exciting, yet manages to maintain a sense of consistance.

Riverside

PANTONE Airy Blue

The Airy Blue color sparks a feeling of lightness and freedom. Airy blue indicates serenity where designers are seeking to show weightlessness in a world of conflict.

PANTONE Sharkskin

Sharkskin is a grey toned color with some edge but still neutral. This color is pairable with almost any fall brights or mutes. Sharkskin is a color that the rest of the palette can depend on.

PANTONE Aurora Red

Aurora Red adds a punch of color to the color palette. This color is a bold red that is warm, sensual, and very pleasing to the eye. This color produces dynamic confidence and excitement.

PANTONE Warm Taupe

Warm Taupe is a very timeless color that expresses reassurance and stability. Warm Taupe is a flourishing, pleasant, and welcoming neutral that pairs with each of the other fall shades.

PANTONE Dusty Cedar

Dusty Cedar is a fall and winter version of the pinks that are usually seen used in the spring. This color radiates warmth and embraces the holiday season.

PANTONE Lush Meadow

Lush Meadow is a very rich, vibrant, and stylish color that elevates the overall elegance woven throughout the season’s collection. This shade of green displays brightness, liveliness, and depth that elevates it from other greens.

PANTONE Spicy Mustard

Spicy mustard is a very exoitc color that adds a splash of uplifting vibrancy. It is very unexpected and unusual, but a great color that adds emphasis on products.

PANTONE Potter’s Clay

Potter’s Clay is a neutral, earthy tone which is very expected for the fall and winter. This color adds sophistication, and the undertone of russet orange gives it a grounded feeling.

Remember last week’s post about DIY Halloween costumes with a designer twist? Well, the marketing interns here at AreaTrend have decided to take it to the next level and put the looks together for you on real people to show you just how great they look! ?

Witchy Woman

Here is the witch I talked about in my last Halloween post – a classic costume with which you can never go wrong. The outfit itself may be a bit different than the one shown last time, but those fierce designer accessories are the same, and they look spellbinding.

And that’s it! I hope I was able to show you how to incorporate designer pieces and regular clothing into easy, diy costumes that anyone can pull off. Remember, AreaTrend is still running their Halloween sale, so get on it! It’s a devil of deal. ? ?

If you’re like me, then you feel your best when your nails are painted and manicured. If you’re also like me, then you hesitate spending $30 every 2-3 weeks to get your nails perfectly manicured and painted. My favorite brand for nail polish is Essie and although they are priced higher than other brands, the quality of this product blows the competitors out of the water. It’s totally worth spending the extra couple of dollars on Essie than others because for me, (when I take my time and use a top coat) lasts around 2.5 weeks! I found that it’s about the same as getting a manicure with gel polish and about half the price too. Here’s some colors that I totally fell in love with and think are perfect for fall!

Dressing up in costume! ? Then again, who doesn’t love dressing up for the spooky season? Making yourself up to be whatever or whoever you want for a night or a day is so ridiculously fun. However, dang! Those costumes can get expensive! ? Of course, DIY-ing your own costume is always an awesome alternative! But another option I love is using Halloween as an excuse to purchase some hip new fashion pieces. ‘Cause you know, I need them for my costume. ? Besides, what’s better than a fashion piece that I can use both for my costume AND on an everyday basis?

To show you what I mean, here are a couple of classic costume ideas using some of the trendy designer accessories from AreaTrend:

Witchy Woman

You can never go wrong with a classic witch (one of my personal faves). Above we have a modern enchantress with a flare for fashion. All you need to start this look is a black outfit! Although adding a touch of festivity with a Halloween shirt never hurts. ? And of course you will need some spellbinding staples: a witch hat, a broom, and a black cat prop if you really want to amp it up.

The Michael Kors handbag, Vince Camuto shoes, and Versace sunglasses give the outfit a high end twist that you won’t find with the usual costumes-in-a-bag sold at every Halloween store. And the best part is, once you remove the witch hat and broom, you have an adorably edgy, slightly gothy outfit that you can wear everyday! (Well…. maybe switch the Halloween shirt to a regular shirt unless it’s still October.)

The Devil Wears Gucci

This Halloween, the Devil is kicking Prada to the curb in favor of this luxurious red Gucci tote with gold metal hardware. The strappy, pointed-toe Steve Madden heels exude power and a “don’t-mess-with-me” attitude. Finally, the Michael Kors watch is anything but dainty. (Doesn’t the red and black just remind you of the flames of Hell? Hehehehe) And for an outfit? Anything red and sexy. The red bandage dress pictured above is peeeeeeeerfect! You are a devil after all. You’ve got to stand out!

Halloween Hippie

Now, you may not be the type to go for the typical Halloween-themed costumes, like witches, devils, zombies, ghosts, etc. If you’re into costumes that are a bit more bright and happy, try the idea above and be a hippie! With a modern twist of course. And this one is so easy! Tie-dye and fringe are definitely elements you want to include. These Ariat Gold Rush boots and fringed Michael Kors shoulder bag are the perfect accessories to pair with this costume. And bonus! They’d be useful all year round to add a touch of bohemian style to your wardrobe.

Round sunglasses are an absolute must, and these ones by Quay are a great option! Plus, that rose gold color is to die for. (No, I mean it. It’s to die for. Oops, did I just make a bad Halloween pun? ? )

Now, there are a lot of options for your main outfit. Bellbottoms and a tie-dyed shirt, as seen above, are one route to take. But a flowy maxi skirt/dress in a ’60s floral pattern also works great. A fringed vest tops everything off and completes the look.

And there you have it – a few examples of Halloween costumes that utilize 95% regular, everyday clothing and accessories. So simple! Now trendsetters, go out there and treat yourself to some new fashion! Remember, you need it for your costume. ??

In fact, AreaTrend is running a Halloween sale right now! Check it out below! (Shameless plug, yes. But you won’t regret it!)
